1/5/06- We're Engaged!

It's official! We are engaged! Jon asked me to marry him on Christmas Eve. I knew he was going to ask me...I just didn't know when. It's been so hard to keep the secret from everyone. In the beginning of November we had a wedding set custom made. It's beautiful! We were just waiting for my divorce to be final. It just seemed like the right thing to do. LOL. My divorce was final November 28, 2005.

We haven't made any official plans for a wedding yet. At first we considered running away to get married. We've both done the big wedding thing before, and this time we just want something small. Possibly just the two of us. We've been looking at cabins in the Smoky Mountains. We can have a beautiful wedding up there with just the two of us, either in our cabin, or in the park by a waterfall. It would be so romantic.

But then we started discussing a Covenant Marriage. And that would not be available in Tennessee. So far only Louisiana, Arkansas and one other state offers that type of marriage. It's a little different from a traditional marriage, because its a little bit more serious of a commitment. Click the link to learn more. :)

If we get married in Louisiana, it will just be a small...preferably church wedding, with just our closest friends and family. We're still looking at all the options.

However and whenever it happens...we can't wait! Nothing has ever felt more right in our lives.
